re: Anybody live in California?

I was about to say that... Kidding! Grapes of Wrath was a great read,Interesting stuff. You very rarely meet someone born and raised living in the major cities except in the ethnic neighborhoods. I find that the people inhabiting the mountains, wine country and sleepy coastal towns are all very much like Southerners. I believe that California's number one industry is agriculture - at least it used to be.
